I cannot believe I missed the sailaway of the MV on the webcam!!!!

The kids and I watched it we saw someone holding up a British flag. I wonder if it was elfinjojo.

 

[Elfinjojo]

Nope wasn't me but thanks for thinking of us

We are in beautiful grand cayman this morning and from our verandah we have the most stunning view of The Disney Magic, moored up! I will post pics on my return.

All has been plain sailing so far from embarkation to merchandise purchase etc....a very different feel to the Dreams Maiden voyage. it's been so nice to see so many familiar crew members that remember us too!

You guys are in for a real treat when you finally get on board!

Now off to enjoy the sun

 

[WAHkoMom]

WOW! Updating from the Fantasy! You're so good to us, JoJo!

I'm glad everything is going well so far, and I hope you are relaxing like you wanted to.

 

[Elfinjojo]

Ola from Cozumel, there is a stunning view today from our ship....we are moored up next to the magic!

Lots of fun in the sun fantasy

 

[WAHkoMom]

JoJo,

It suddenly occurred to me that I have a "scout" onboard the Fantasy right now . . . . . . would you be able to find out what beers are on tap in the bars? DH and I are beer drinkers and the Dream didn't have a huge selection of beers on tap (if I recall - - we actually brought beer in our carry-ons

Anyway, since you will be onboard for a while (you lucky duck), if you wouldn't mind investigating that for me, I'd appreciate it!

I hope you are still having a great time!

THANK YOU!

So is anyone here concierge or Platinum and has had a chance to book excursions and PALO/remy? I'd love to know the availability of the cabanas as we really want to snatch one up on friday if they are available.

Hi!

It's our first platinum cruise, so we were able to book on the 30th of March.

I just checked CC, and all of the cabanas have been reserved...both for the family beach and Serenity Bay.

Spotchecking the dining, I found the following:

Day 2 (at sea)
Palo dining slots available from 6:00 - 8:30
Remy dining slots availabe from 6:20 - 8:10 excepting a couple slots, i.e. 7:30.

Day 6 (at sea)
Palo brunch spots available from 10:00 - noon

Note, I didn't not check every option on those days.

If you have a specific restaurant and day, I'll be glad to research more specifically for those availabilities. Just let me know.

--Drew

Thanks for checking! That is as I expected, so we will continue to check back for cabanas. It's not a huge deal, just thought it would be nice for the 2 yo. I have no idea what we want to do for PALO, so no help there, I'm just glad there are some open, though we've never had trouble with getting PALO when we wanted once on board.

I'm so excited I could just squeal.

Hi all,back from the MV and B2B and had such a fab time on a gorgeous ship. I am all messed up wit body clock now as hetman is kicking in big time, but as soon as I can think straight I will do my mini TR and will hopefully answer some questions too. The question about the beer I am not sure I can answer but I may have a link to another TR that may be able to help. Will get back to you in a day or two!

Hello to all!!!! I looked from page one for the FE information, as far as how many people/ages are going to participate....please let me know where did you guys have the information, or did you email it? the thing is that I need to have an idea to start preparing the goodies!!

I'm kind of worry, I see no posting since the weekend of the 15 of April....

In other news, my DS is going to join us, now we are a 10 people group (only 4 participate in FEs) some plans he had for the summer fell apart and I didnt have the heart to leave him behind, so my "baby boy" (he is 19) is coming with mommy!!! and I am so happy.

Also let me know if there s other Police or Firefighters among us, my DH love doing Tshirt exchanges :

Hopefully we can keep it no candies, its a shame but I hate to throw them away, there is so much food during the trip and to pack them and bring them home is just no practical.

Well...love you all and can't wait to meet you!!!

My husband is a firefighter and we can't wait for the cruise. Let us know if you want us to bring a shirt and what size. We would like to join the FE it will be my husband and I with our 15yr daughter.

Hi I am so sorry I have not been active on the board since my return from the MV, still trying. To catchup. I shall make a huge effort over the weekend to get an updated FE list on the board, and to try and email a spreadsheet to you all. I am on the IPad at the moment, but will get the laptop out and get organised for you.

As for restricting it to no candies, that may not suit everyone but if you want to put a specific request on the list for no candies for your family then we can do that. Know what you mean about having to throw away un eaten, we had so much given to us over the two weeks that we couldn't make room to pack it all, we ate what we could and then packed the rest up and gave it to the YC That we had made friends with which they appreciated.

Anyway I shall be back properly over the weekend.

I am there with you...byt are you sure they open at midnght? I m off tomorrow so I will be awake! xoxo and blessings

 

[princesscinderella]

They opened at midnight on the last cruise I did which was in January. Don't sweat it though if the ressies you want aren't available as they hold some back for onboard booking. We are not doing any excursions my kids are too little. Make sure to do the online check in too for the earliest boarding time.
